My first mixer was a raw Radio Shack unit. My turntables had scratch pads from PDX but city hype stopped there. My decks were straight out of coastal thrift stores. I built them from parts I mined from different turntables. I’ve collected LPs since the eighties. Rock and roll changed my life. I'd go to 'The Greek' in Berkeley, CA for shows. I've seen thousands of live shows throughout my life. My first turntablist experience was in the Oakland Coliseum parking lot at 'Grateful Dead-Chinese New Years' show in the 80's. Scratchin'&mixin'. Finessin' the tables blew my mind. Hip-hop DJs are kings. I stay away from mainstream. Focus on the roots. The story telling, revolution, sex, dance, creative art expression. Lps covers are a limitless canvas. Their contribution to pop culture massive. The vinyl analog sound is the best quality. My record collecting is a passion. I love it!
